4 Claims.

This invention relates to a hair device, and more particularly to a device comprising a flex- I ible form on which the hair may berolled,.a pliable wire extending lengthwise across the form to clasp the ends of the hair thereon, and ribbons for fastening the device to the head.

The principal object of my invention is to provide a flexible hair device of light weight for forming and setting the hair at the back of the 10 head in a roll, either with the hair turned under in the style commonly known as page-boy bob or with the hair turned up.

A further object is to provide a device of this character that may be easily applied to the the roll is being set. 7

A further object is to provide a device of this character that permits of free ventilation and circulation of air so that the hair supported on 20 the roll may bequickly dried and set.

ing drawing in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly broken away, of a hair device embodying the invention;

slightly larger scale;

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line 3--3 of Figure 1;

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a modi- 30 fied form of the device; and

Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4. r

The device comprises a hollow form or roller In which in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1-3

3 consists of braided material ll having inturned ends I2. I I A length of pliable covered wire'l3 is formed in a loop having one arm l4 extending through the roller Ill and the other arm l5 passl'ng lengthwise over the roller. In this instance the wire I3 is bound to the inturned ends I2 01" the roller by clasps I 6. V

I1 is a ribbon or string that passes through the roller 1 and has extended end portions by which it may be tied around the head of the wearer to hold the device in place. The ribbon "is also fastened to the roller by means ofthe claspsl6.

It is not necessary, of course, that theribbon extend through the roller as separate ribbonsfastened to the ends of the roller would suflice.

For use in forming a page-boy bob, the ends of the ribbon may be long enough to pass around the head twice so that the ribbon can betied above the hair roll to hem the hair at the back of the head" smooth while the roll is being set.

Amodification of the invention is shown in Figs. 4 and in which the form or roller l0 conhead of the wearer and comfortably worn while The invention is illustrated in the accompany Fig. 2 is a sectional view of an end thereof, on a sists of a soft rubber tube 18 preferably having perforations iii. In this instance,.the two ends of the wire element 13 are fastened together, adjacent oneend of the tube, by a metal clasp 20, which clasp also binds the ribbon l1. The ends of the hair to be rolled are inserted between the roller and the wire arm l5, and the latter is pressed against the roller to grip the hair ends, after which the roller is rotated to v turn the hair either under or up, as desired, and

finally the ribbons are tied about the head.

Various .changes in the details of construction herein illustrated and described may be made within the scope 'of the invention claimed.

The present invention involves an improvement of the hair devices shown and described in the patents issued to me on February '7, 1939, Nos. 2,146,674 and 2,146,675. I

What I claim is: e
